Zero Water...


I love water.
I drink a LOT of water during the day
and I can't get enough.


A few weeks ago when I started this
research journey about the
toxins in our midst, I learned a LOT
about the harmful affects of BPA.


I *know* that a majority of my
fertility problems stem from the BPA that
I've unknowingly consumed over the years.

SO, now I'm on a quest.
First - I ditched the BPA-ridden water delivery system.
Being a water snob conniseur - tap water simply wouldn't do.
With the limited budget and the basic research
I did (mostly concerned about the BPA)
I settled on Zero Water.
(the only inexpensive water filter that didn't
contain any BPA plastics...PUR and Britta do)



It comes with a fun water-meter reader
to determine if there are elevated (or any) amounts
of total dissolved solids in the water
you're about to consume.


There are organic and inorganic substances
that are found in water that runs through our taps.
This website goes into more detail
about total dissolved solids.


During my research, I stumbled upon
this website
that talks about tap vs bottled water
and the toxins in each.


I came across sight after sight that claimed
that the total dissolved solids mainly
affected the taste of the water.
The EPA regulates that we should
not consume water with a score of more than 500.
(does that mean 499 is OK?)


So, Zero Water made the most sense for our little family....
I did a very simple and quick science experiment
on my own - and took the existing water
bottles that we had around the house
of various brands and put it to the test
using my new Zero Water total dissolved solid meter reader.


All the different brands had different amounts -
and lo and behold - the Zero Water really did have a 0 score.
It does taste great,
and stays nice and chilled in our fridge.
(do you prefer cold water or room temp?)


Check it out...we purchased our dispenser
through Amazon and are very pleased.
I figure a few less solids that we unknowingly consume
the better, right?


PS - I'm in no way being compensated for this - it is just my little PSA -
and a little insight as to what changes we are making
in our family...!
